Theoretical considerations and test data indicate that, in the low‐porosity range, the strength of set cement can be better predicted from its W hp *× G c * IP f ratio than from its porosity or gel concentration; in this range ( P f =0.16 to 0.28), therefore, the ratio in question constitutes a more basic and general strength‐determining factor. At advanced stages of hydration, however, the set cement is stronger than can be expected from its W hp *× G c * /P f ratio, apparently due to aging effects.
